| HELPING OUR COMMUNITY BY GIVING | | |
Did you know that the YMCA is a charity? The Victory Family YMCA is asking you to help your community by joining the 12-Day Campaign to raise $12,000 for our Strong Community Campaign.
Simply sign up to give $25 (or more) through your monthly bank draft from September through December 2013.
See the Welcome Center for more details.
And a big thank you to all our members and community friends that helped support Bright Beginnings back to school program. We were able to take 136 children shopping and supplied over 175 children with backpacks and school supplies.
The Power of One...
One tree can start a forest,
One smile can begin a friendship,
One hand can lift a soul,
One word can frame the goal,
One candle can wipe out darkness,
One laugh can conquer gloom,
One hope can raise our spirits,
And...one choice can change your life.
Choose wisely.
Make the Y your charity of choice and change a life today!
